How...Hi GG5,<br /><br />I'm no Paul, not by a long shot.<br /><br />However, I had thought of quoting Paul's sarcasm and truth as evident through the entirety of 2 Corinthians 11, but God intervened and said I should just relate that which I myself know is true in response... just as Paul did. :)Sean Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16635416157001117844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373186484944191934.post-12808898778791137422014-04-14T23:31:58.068-04:002014-04-14T23:31:58.068-04:00WOW!

In the moderation process I almost deleted the comment because of its near total incomprehensibility and incoherence. <br /><br />However, it just as quickly became apparent that segments of the comment needed to be responded to, at least the miniscule part of it that was minimally comprehensible, in the hope of educating this individual just a little bit, and have just a little bit of fun at the same time.<br /><br />"<i>A combined population of 800 million dependent on fossil fuel, while their enemies put emphasis on nuclear power for energy.</i>"<br /><br />I guess you haven't spent much time abroad much less outside of Mo's basement, eh? Ah, I'm just kidding becuase I couldn;t resist it.<br /><br />Anyway, you seem to think the modern Russian Nationalist and Communist Chinese war machines run on nuclear power. Funny thing... I've not seen a nuclear-powered T-80 or T-90 Main Battle Tank, nor a nuclear powered MiG or Sukhoi fighter-bomber, much less a nuclear-powered three-stage rocket engine on the backside of a Russian or Chinese ICBM. How could I have missed these things in over 30 years of doing foreign military weapons systems analysis?<br /><br />Seems to me the enemy's war machines run on certain grades of refined fossil fuels and petroleum by-products just like all the other modern-day war machines on planet Earth. Perhaps internal combustion engines operate differently on the planet you're from?<br /><br />"<i>Russia is now aiding the construction of a fourth nuclear power plant for Iran and has plans for many more.</i>"<br /><br />Wow, they're really going to do that? <i>Reallllly???</i> No wonder Jeremiah in chapter 49 was inspired to prophesy that there would not be any nation on earth where the outcasts from modern-day Iran would not be dispersed into after His judgment has fallen upon them. That much nuclear radiation from bombed out nuclear plants will definitely make life more difficult than it would have been otherwise. And all that shap and jagged-edged green glass would be rough on their tender Persian tootsies too!!!<br /><br />"<i>The future is...</i><br /><br />...not something you are even remotely familiar with as given to us by the inspired words of the Lord's prophets. The confused, fallen and destined for destruction world you are so enamored with is living on a very finite amount of borrowed time. It has all been foretold in exquisite detail; we all know the future before it happens! Can your sources of information tell you with such absolute precision? Not a chance! Less than 0.0000001% chance in fact.<br /><br />I would strongly suggest that you ask God to prove to you in a completely unambiguous way that He is the God He says He is, and please ask Him to prove it to you soon while you still have the luxury of time in which to ask the question of Him.<br /><br />He is standing at the door; if you will knock on that door I 100% guarantee you that He will respond directly and unambiguously.<br />Sean Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16635416157001117844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373186484944191934.post-79732766872085283112014-03-31T18:41:13.727-04:002014-03-31T18:41:13.727-04:00Europe alone does not need a dominant military for...Europe alone does not need a dominant military force or bases around the globe, nor does the United States or any other nation for that matter.<br /><br />The Word of God is clear that one man, the Antichrist, will have absolute control over many nations.<br />In concert with this line of thought there is the quote above of Revelation 17:13 which tells of all the other kings being of one mind and freely giving their power and authority to the Antichrist.<br /><br />So who needs the expense of massive bases at great distances and all the logistical nightmare that goes with re-supplying them when the entire territory of those lands, their military forces and their entire population of military age are at your beck and call?<br /><br />Of course the US has a role to play during the 70th Week, I've been saying that from the get-go. However, that's a far cry from saying the US <i>is</i> the beast empire of the 70th Week. <br /><br />Clearly the US is one of many nations within that world empire, and our military power combined with that of the major European nations and their populations will make the beast empire as completely dominant as Bible prophecy indicates.<br /><br />Read Revelation 17 for details.Sean Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16635416157001117844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373186484944191934.post-53804496185311706102014-03-31T15:32:43.417-04:002014-03-31T15:32:43.417-04:00Interesting that Europe does not have a dominant m...Interesting that Europe does not have a dominant military force nor the capacity of bases on a global level like the United States.

The phrase...What "Revived Roman Empire"?<br /><br />The phrase does not come from the Bible.<br /><br />The erroneous concept of a "Revived Roman Empire" has been made clear from Scripture in the recently posted <a href="http://eschatologytoday.blogspot.com/2014/03/revived-roman-empire-correcting.html" rel="nofollow"><br />Revived Roman Empire: Correcting a Hermeneutical Error.</a><br /><br />The prophet Daniel also said nothing about the Antichrist; the angel Gabriel revealed those prophetic specifics within the so-called "70 Weeks Prophecy" found in Daniel 9:24-27, and in that stated only that "<i>...the people of the prince who is to come<br />Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary...</i>"<br /><br />Rome was sacked and the Temple destroyed by the soldiers of four Roman legions, led by a Roman general, under the authority of his father who was the Roman Emperor and who actually began the siege of Jerusalem when he was the general in-charge of the same legions.<br /><br />All of the Roman soldiers of those four legions were Europeans. This has been discussed at length here before and there is no need at this point revisit previously settled issues.<br /><br />There is a very strong indication in what Gabriel also imparted to Daniel that the Antichrist would come from a Hellenic heritage. <br /><br />The text of Gabriel's narrative in Daniel has no gap or extraneous ethnic introduction whatsoever other than the Greek bloodline of Antiochus IV Epiphanes and the man who will be the Antichrist.<br /><br />So, unless the coming antichrist is an American president with a direct lineage to that bloodline of Greek-Seleucid kings, the theory you are currently dancing around does not hold water.<br />Sean Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16635416157001117844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373186484944191934.post-14148312415996924732014-03-31T14:19:45.270-04:002014-03-31T14:19:45.270-04:00Indeed, how can a Roman AntiChrist subdue a Revive...Indeed, how can a Roman AntiChrist subdue a Revived Roman Empire? It seems that Daniel the Prophet denotes the AntiChrist as coming from the people or offspring (heritage) of Rome but not necessarily the geographical area. The United States was modeled after the Roman Republic and bears the symbol of Imperial Rome (Eagle). Thought this might provide an interesting argument when we also consider the many ways the U.S. is similar to Rome such as, style of government, military dominance, and of course our own Roman goddess welcoming all to our shores.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373186484944191934.post-51026875186459267652014-03-31T12:17:03.328-04:002014-03-31T12:17:03.328-04:00Anonymous,
I think you might want to revisit with...Anonymous,<br /><br />I think you might want to revisit with me what the Lord has prophesied about the rise of the Antichrist and give that prophetic word a bit of a closer inspection.<br /><br />So let's start with Revelation 17:12-13.<br /><br />"<b>The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast.</b>"<br /><br />There are two key things here:<br /><br />1.) The Antichrist is NOT one of the ten sovereign horns (kings) that will exist at the time he rises to power. <br /><br />2.) The Antichrist is yet another horn, an 11th horn, which rises in addition to the ten.<br /><br />Now let's go back and reference Daniel 7:7-8 to confirm this (Bible interpreting the Bible):<br /><br />"<i>After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and...<br /><br /> <b>it had ten horns. I was considering the horns, and there was another horn, a little one, coming up among them,</b><br /><br />...before whom three of the first horns were plucked out by the roots. And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking pompous words.</i>"<br /><br />Here the Word of God interprets itself regarding the coming of the Antichrist. <br /><br />Antichrist IS NOT one of the ten, but rises up among them, and takes three of the existing sovereign kings out upon his arrival.<br /><br />Thus, Antichrist is an 11th horn who has seven of the ten pre-existing horns (kings) giving him their full allegiance and three other horns whose sovereignty he will summarily take as his own.<br /><br />This is something very few prophecy teachers have paid much close attention to either, so if this is the first time many are learning of this, well that is a completely understandable oversight which I think we have just corrected by the Word of God.Sean Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16635416157001117844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373186484944191934.post-47094268735432985522014-03-30T23:41:17.243-04:002014-03-30T23:41:17.243-04:00And yet, if the prophesied Son of Perdition is the...And yet, if the prophesied Son of Perdition is the current leader of the most powerful military force on the globe that will fill the vacuum in the aftermath of the Gog/Magog battle of Ezekiel 38/39, then perhaps our awaiting one to rise from Europe is indeed deception. It would appear that his time has not yet come but edges closer coinciding with the prophetic destiny of Russia and company arriving on the mountains of Israel.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373186484944191934.post-72339747759723702052014-03-30T23:36:38.271-04:002014-03-30T23:36:38.271-04:00By the way, really intrigued by the posting on Rev...By the way, really intrigued by the posting on Revised Roman Empire.

For over 5 years, I have dealt with a nagging thought that just will not go away. All of this situation between Russia and Obama is a great big staged act. All of it and I don't believe for one minute that Oboohoo was unaware of the live mic prior to the November elections in 2012. I believe it was deliberate and a tactic he uses quite easily. Provocation and bullying tactics by always letting there be a hint of sinister undercurrents. A nice way of saying "terrorism".<br />Shalom/GG5Great Grany 5https://www.blogger.com/profile/18206987625062582113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373186484944191934.post-50220817436537958712014-03-30T18:36:23.123-04:002014-03-30T18:36:23.123-04:00Wow, Sean that's incredible, the scientificall...Wow, Sean that's incredible, the scientifically advanced defense and offense we really didn't know about.
